The Bachelorette Premiere Recap: Beast Mode … Activated!!

Posted on May 14, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Monday night on ABC, The Bachelorette finally unleashed the beast in the form of Season 15’s leading lady Hannah Brown. And you don’t need The Bachelorette spoilers to tell you that “Hannah Beast” promises to be a different kind of Bachelorette . For one, she came from outside The Bachelor’s top four earlier this winter. Secondarily, fan response has been … lukewarm. Look, to be clear, we’re not hating on Hannah whatsoever, but more than a few fans feel she’s the worst Bachelorette ever. Before the season even got underway, no less! In any case, the time for speculation is officially over as the May 13 premiere marked her debut on the iconic franchise. Did the University of Alabama grad disappoint? View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out Hannah Brown’s Final THREE! [UPDATED] A frontrunner for the 2018 Miss Alabama turned interior designer’s heart emerged, as Bachelorette spoilers predicted. Whether or not her fiance was revealed this early is subject to debate, of course, as there’s a long, LONG way to go. Let’s break down the premiere, blow by blow: Or fame by frame, perhaps we ought to say, as the premiere opened with a twist… Hannah recruited her Bachelor friends Demi Burnett and Katie Morton to actually check out the suitors from a surveillance van on night one. Demi was on the lookout for Scott, who she heard through the Internet had a girlfriend back home and, therefore, would definitely be on the show for all the wrong reasons. Upon meeting this man, Scott laid it on thick with Hannah, offering to workshop their dream home and claiming that he took the whole Bachelorette process quite seriously. However, Demi warned Hannah that she received incriminating intel about him. Cue confrontation number-one! Akin to how folks say you need to find the biggest inmate and beat him up in order to earn respect in prison… Hannah barged into the Bachelorette Mansion. Scott responded to her accusations by saying he did NOT have a girlfriend, but, well, yes: there was a woman waiting for him back home. What a loser! The guy even went on to compare his situation to Hannah dating Colton Underwood before becoming the Bachelorette, an idea that really made no sense whatsoever. She was with someone before and is now single. That’s just how life works. Scott has backup options just waiting for his call! Having heard enough, Hannah trashed Scott as a “jerk” and swiftly threw him out of the house. The Bachelorette then told the remaining men to go home if they had similar circumstances, making it very clear they weren’t dealing with some pushover this season. Thankfully, no one else could relate to Scott. And some of these 30 aspiring husbands proved to be rather creative and funny upon their introductions: Connor S. jumped a fence, a sly reference to Colton doing the same on The Bachelor …. Devin lied about being a virgin, also mocking poor Colton… Joe leaped out of a box… and Cam did a freestyle rap. Prior to entering the mansion for the cocktail party Hannah paused to say a prayer. She then said that she had a slight crush on Jed after he sang her a “Roll Tide” ballad because Hannah hails from Alabama — and she shared kisses with Luke P., Connor S. and Cam! As for who earned the First Impression Rose? It went to a 24-year-old Import/Export Manager who showed off his shirtless physique in his introductory clip and who met Hannah back during the After the Rose special several weeks ago. “I think I’m a good looking guy,” this stud told the camera with a smile and laugh. “When I was in college, a lot of the girls around me thought so too.” This same person is from Gainesville, Georgia and said on air that God spoke to him in the shower once and that he changed his focus in life as a result and has been “working on the husband that I want to be for my future wife.” He also was the first person to comfort Hannah after she sent Scott packing. Yup: it’s Luke Parker! Pictured below with The Bachelorette, will he be able to go from early favorite to final one chosen? We’ll need to tune in if we want to find out — but we do not need to read through any The Bachelorette spoilers to know who no longer has a shot at Hannah’s heart. Brian, Chasen, Hunter, Joe, Matt Donald, Ryan and Thomas were all sent home during the first rose ceremony. That was an intense opener, huh? Is your favorite still in play for this summer’s very likely proposal? The Bachelorette airs on ABC Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.

Game of Thrones: Can the Series Finale Save This Uneven Season?

Posted on May 13, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Well, it finally happened. On Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, First of Her Name and Perpetrator of Plot Twists broke bad and roasted more peasants than a medeival insult comic.  Like many, many others, we long ago predicted that the Khaleesi would make a heel turn and be revealed as the show’s final villain, but if Twitter is any indication, the events of “The Bell” came as a complete shock to many viewers. In one sense, this is hard to understand, as the show has been hinting at a darker side to Dany ever since her very first rants about “laying waste to armies” and taking what’s hers “with fire and blood” way back when her dragons were about the size of pet iguanas. But at the same time, the surprise is quite understandable. After all, prior to this week’s episode, the Khaleesi was arguably the show’s best-loved character, and many considered her ascendancy to the Iron Throne to he a foregone conclusion. As a result, creator’s D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have been accused of prioritizing shock value over organic character development with their decision to have Dany embrace her family’s mercurial nature and unleash unspeakable violence on innocenr civilians and soldiers who had already surrendered. If that were the case — if a character who had been built up as the savior of a people and an incorruptible force for good suddenly embracec wickedness out of nowhere — then these critics would be right to complain. But Dany’s turn was hinted at so often that many speculate it would never happen simply because it would be too predictable for a show that’s always trafficked in surprises. So yes, you have one camp griping that the character’s shift came out of nowhere, and another complaining that it was entirely too obvious. And in that sense, the clash over Dany’s true nature highlights the biggest challenge facing the Game of Thrones as we approach the show’s wildly anticipated finale: It’s nearly impossible for any show to conclude in a way that will leave an audience of millions universally satisfied — and that task is even harder for a series that revels in moral ambiguity and long ago raised the bar in terms of gut-punch surprises. Don’t get us wrong, there were legitimate complaints to be made about “The Bells”: Several major figures behaved in ways that flew in the face of eight seasons’ worth of character development. Some combatants seemed to be shrouded in impenetrable plot armor (We’re looking at you, Arya!) while others met frustratingly anti-climactic fates. (Evil genius Cersei Lannister is felled by freakin’ falling rocks? Really?) But the main issue that many fans seem worried about is the climactic battle for the Iron Throne will likely be fought between Daenerys Targaryen and her conflicted neph-boo Jon Snow. This is a baffling concern, not only becsause the show has been foreshadowing such a conflict for quite some time, but also because Weiss and Benioff insist that they’re staying true to the “broadstrokes” of the ending mapped out by George R.R. Martin’s several years ago. Yes, they’ve made some missteps along the way (The less said about the lighting for the Battle of Winterfell, the better.), but we’ll continue to place our faith that the kings who led us this far will be wise and just in wrapping up TV’s most ambitious story.

Briana Renee Accuses Ex of Pedophilia, Bestiality, and Incest Fantasies

Posted on May 10, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Little Women: LA alum Briana Renee has been living in fear of her ex for too long. Now, she is courageously facing off with Matt Grundhoffer in court. He is accused of sexually abusing a minor in his care. But Briana’s testimony reveals that her ex-husband’s twisted fantasies included more: pedophilia, bestiality, and incest. In 2009, Matt Grundhoffer was working as a counselor. He is accused of having abused a minor in his care at that time. That (former) minor has taken him to court, and Briana is helping. Briana has accused Matt of verbal and physical abuse during their marriage. Her fears of violence escalated when he armed himself. Last July, Briana filed a deposition in court expressing alarm that Matt was carrying a gun. She said that he had, on more than one occassion, used it to mime killing himself — a clear suicide threat. Once upon a time, their split and divorce had been described as “amicable.” That quickly changed, and the gun was just a small part of it. After they had separated, Briana discovered the sort of person Matt really was. RadarOnline got a look at — but tastefully chose to not release — Facebook messages that Briana had provided to the court. She says that after he had left her home, he tried to get her to “trust him,” so he handed over his Facebook password. That is shocking, because Briana uncovered Facebook messages that he had sent out. He had messaged both men and women, sending flirtatious texts as well as more explicit sexts. As we already knew, some of those he targeted were trans women, whom he insultingly fetishized. We may not have the entire transcript from court, but we do know some of what was said about Matt. “Saying he’s a sexual deviant, he’s got an addiction, he can’t help himself,” Briana said of her ex. “You know and then this stuff… including bestiality and children,” Briana added. “I only saw or knew anything that disturbing once he had been out of my house,” she explained. “It was a few days later that I saw this on Facebook.” She reports that he sent messages expressing a lust for incest, bestiality, and pedophilia. The scariest part was the incest, because she’s not talking about fanfiction or Game of Thrones or whatever. Briana says that, in those explicit fantasies, he mentioned his own 12-year-old child from a previous relationship. “Then, he was out of my home,” Briana asserted in court. “I immediately sent it to my lawyers. It’s your own son!” “There were about 30” messages in total, Briana revealed. Those of a “concerning nature were the children and bestiality.” “I didn’t even wanna read the rest,” Briana admitted to the court. “There [were] just so many,” she explained. “I was just, like, done. I put it in my lawyer’s hands.” Some might have deleted the messages in horror. Handing them off to her attorney allowed her to use the messages to secure a protective order for Matt’s 12-year-old. It also allowed her to use them in her own divorce and in this court case, providing testimony on her ex. We don’t normally want to police anybody’s private thoughts, but messages are a little more than that. And this stuff is both gross and scary.

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Take THIS, MerLuca Haters!

Posted on May 10, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Ever since Grey’s Anatomy paired Meredith with DeLuca, fans have been complaining about it being the most random pairing in the history of the series.  Thursday’s penultimate episode of Grey’s Anatomy Season 15 just showed how much DeLuca cared about his woman, and it should help the haters get on board with the pairing.  If you watch Grey’s Anatomy online , you know that Meredith risked it all to operate on a patient without insurance.  She went as far as committing insurance fraud by saying the patient’s name was Ellis Grey, her daughter’s.This allowed her own insurance to cover the life-saving surgery.  Richard realized what Mer did, yelled at her a little, and joined in the plan with his own two cents about how Mer could get out of her pickle.  It turns out, her hot Italian boyfriend was ready to take the fall!  Yes, really.  Bailey and Catherine spent much of the intense installment in meetings. DeLuca was later hauled in to answer questions.  “It has come to light that Dr. Meredith Grey submitted her own daughter’s name to pay for Gabriella’s surgery and care, which is both fraud and a felony,” Catherine said to a stunned DeLuca.  Catherine and DeLuca later went to find Meredith, and DeLuca dropped the bombshell.  “Your patient, Gabby Rivera — I lied to you,” he said. “She didn’t have insurance, and she shouldn’t have been admitted, but I wanted her to get the surgery very badly, so I didn’t tell anybody, so I put another name down on the paperwork. Your daughter’s name, Ellis.” That was a pretty great way to his love to Mer, right? In any case, DeLuca is headed for some jail time. There’s no way he gets away with this.  Unless Grey’s is planning on offing another one of Mer’s lovers. That would suck.  Elsewhere, Meredith tried to help Jo through her difficult time. It’s crazy how far these two have come.  Meredith said that she could understand what Jo was going through because all of the trauma she’s been through over the years.  This prompted Jo to lash out.  “Was your mother raped by your father? Is that why you exist? Do you look like a rapist? Do you wear his face?” Jo yelled. “Okay then. I don’t think you do get this, so please go home.” Meredith refused to leave, and Jo ultimately told her the full story. Meredith was adamant that Jo did not have to be defined by her past.  “You have an enormous will, and an enormous heart, and an enormous capacity for survival,” Meredith said. “You’ve taken all this darkness and used it to help people who are walking through the same.” “You lined that hallway with women to help that woman who was hurting badly just hurt a little bit less,” she continued. “You’ve taken your darkest experiences that life gave you, and you turned it around and turned it into light.” “And if the woman who gave birth to you doesn’t want to see that, then that’s on her.” Meredith then told Jo to get a shower because they were going to the hospital to speak to Alex and Bailey to get her some time off work to get her life back in order.  Yay, right? Looking ahead to next week, we have the fog on the horizon. Yes, really. Our heroes will have to contend with fog.  What are your thoughts on the episode? Hit the comments!

Danny Baker, BBC Host, Fired for Comparing Royal Baby to a Chimp

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Congratulations are in order for Samantha Markle. Despite her expected rude comments in the wake of her half-sister and Prince Harry welcoming a son named Archie into the world on Monday… this bitter waste of television air time is no longer responsible for the most insensitive reaction to the arrival of the Royal Baby. Indeed, that dishonor has firmly been claimed instead by BBC host Danny Baker. A veteran broadcaster in Great Britain, the 61-year old reacted to Markle and Harry debuting their precious newborn to the world yesterday by… … Tweeting a photo of a chimp in a suit holding hands with a smartly dressed couple and writing as a caption; “Royal baby leaves hospital.” The snapshot, naturally, sparked immediate outrage due to the clear racist undertones against Markle, whose mother, Doria Ragland, is African American. Faced with this strongly deserved backlash, Baker deleted the message and said he was sorry the “gag” had “whipped some up.” He then claimed the negative connotations had not occurred to him because his “mind (is) not diseased,” taking the impressively bold approach of accusing critics of racism for pointing out his racism. In a second message, Baker said that the tweet was “supposed to be a joke about Royals vs circus animals in posh clothes but interpreted as about monkeys & race, so rightly deleted. Royal watching not my forte.” On Thursday, the broadcaster said he made an “enormous mistake.” But it was far too late to save his job. “This was a serious error of judgment and goes against the values we as a station aim to embody,” said a BBC spokesperson yesterday, adding: “Danny’s a brilliant broadcaster but will no longer be presenting a weekly show with us.” As you can see above, Baker tried to save face by appealing directly to Meghanm, Harry and their son, writing online: Would have used same stupid pic for any other Royal birth or Boris Johnson kid or even one of my own. It’s a funny image. (Though not of course in that context.) Enormous mistake, for sure. Grotesque. Anyway, here’s to ya Archie, Sorry mate. But then he also referred to his firing as a “masterclass of pompous faux-gravity” and slammed the network for taking this course of action by Tweeting: “Took a tone that said I actually meant that ridiculous tweet and the BBC must uphold blah blah blah,” he added. “Literally threw me under the bus. Could hear the suits knees knocking. #Fuckem. Ever since the announcement of her pregnancy, Markle has been a target of racist abuse across social media. In March, the Kensington Palace staff announced it would devote a bevy of resources to deleting comments targeting the Duchess of Sussex, and also to blocking abusive Twitter and Instagram accounts. Moreover, the Royal household issued a set of guidelines for people engaging with its social media channels. It’s all very disturbing, but we’re gonna choose to focus on the positive here instead — which is that Archie has arrived! “Mother and baby are doing incredibly well,” Harry said in his first public comments since becoming a father, adding in lovable fashion “This has been the most amazing experience I could possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension.” Amen, Prince. View Slideshow: Royal Baby Photos: Who Wore Their Blanket Best?

Briana DeJesus Protests Jenelle Evans’ Firing: It’s SO Unfair!!

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Just a couple of months ago, Jenelle Evans confided in Briana DeJesus that she feared being fired from Teen Mom 2 . Well, after the brutal murder of Jenelle’s dog by her monstrous husband, David Eason, that fear has been realized. But Briana isn’t just mourning her friend’s firing — she’s defending Jenelle On Wednesday, Briana Dejesus spoke to Us Weekly and about MTV’s decision to finally, finally fire Jenelle. “I am sad for her,” Briana expressed for some reason. Ah yes, because the real victim right now is Jenelle, who is trying to save her horrible marriage instead of leaving David and pressing charges. Briana added: “I wish there was some kind of compromise for all of this.” “She worked her ass off for so long,” she laments. “To just be thrown to the wolves.” Despite Jenelle’s apparent lack of a moral compass or common sense concern for the safety of herself, her dogs, or her kids, Briana wishes her well. “I hope she gets everything she ever wanted,” Briana said. Unfortunately, what Jenelle wants has, historically and recently, been dangerous for her, for her kids, and for her pets. That’s as true with baby daddies as it was with drugs. “And,” Briana adds. “I just want her to flourish!” “She will be OK,” she predicts with zero evidence to back up her claim. “As far as David,” Briana continued. “It sucks that his actions caused all of this,” she grossly understated. “But,” Briana said. “This is what it is and there’s no going back.” That is such a weird, meaningless statement. We don’t expect for her to be calling for him to be guillotined (though she wouldn’t be alone if she were), but she’s so noncommittal. As we mentioned, MTV has decided to let go of Jenelle, presumably before the next murder in the family is committed on camera. “MTV ended its relationship with David Eason over a year ago in February 2018,” the network’s statement began. “And,” they continued. “Has not filmed any new episodes of Teen Mom 2 with him since.” “Additionally,” MTV added. “We have stopped filming with Jenelle Eason as of April 6, 2019.” “And,” the statement concluded. “Have no plans to cover her story in the upcoming season.” We all see awful things in the news every single day. Those of us who write about these stories read everything that there is to know about shocking events in order to cover the topic. Sometimes, after deep diving through enough people’s harrowing trauma, people get numb. But the thought of Nugget’s last moments of life, full of pain and fear, has kept people (myself included) up at night. We understand that Briana is trying to be supportive of her friend, but to speak so cavalierly about a violent man is shocking. If Briana were really Jenelle’s friend, she would be urging her to get out and to seek justice for Nugget before another horror takes place. Incidentally, a long-disputed election in Jenelle’s home county in NC was finally resolved just days ago. That’s what happens when a race for county sheriff was decided by a difference of fewer than 40 votes. However, even the current sheriff acknowledged that David Eason was the “most dangerous man in three counties.” Hyperbole or not, that’s 3% of the counties in the 10th most populous state in the country. But even if the new sheriff has a tougher approach to crime, her hands may be just as tied as the current sheriff. Jenelle will either work up the resolve to do the right thing for herself, for her kids, and for Nugget … or she’ll help David get away with murder. We can’t help but wonder how Briana will feel the next time that David inevitably does something sickening and vile. Wishing that you’d encouraged your friend to leave her beast of a husband doesn’t do much good if it comes too late. Jenelle is isolated from so many people, in part becaue of David but also from her own behavior. Briana may be one of the few people who can reach out and push Jenelle to make a smart choice for the first time in a long time.

Prince Harry Admits to Missing Late Mother While Celebrating Royal Birth

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Fans of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are still getting over the joyful announcement of the royal baby name . But Harry is back to work, and holding earnest conversations with people even as he beams with pride as a new father. The prince has also spoken of how he misses his mother, the late great Princess Diana. A veteran by the name of Dennis van der Stroon spoke to Prince Harry on Thursday during the new father’s trip to the Netherlands. Van der Stroon then spoke to Hello! about the exchange, in which they reflected upon both fatherhood and loss. “Harry talked about how having a small child was his new focus and new goal,” van der Stroon reveals. He recalls: “and I told him how a couple of months ago, I was struggling with my mental health.” “But,” van der Stroon told the prince. “My wife’s pregnancy has given me a goal.” Like Prince Harry, van der Stroon lost his mother when he was young and is also about to become a father. “Above all,” he comments. “He said he was just amazed by the miracles in the world.” It sounds like he’s very pumped up by being a new father. And he knows that he’s not the only one. van der Stroon adds: “and how his child has made a lot of people happy.” That is certainly true. “He also told me he’s really happy that his son is so far very quiet,” van der Stroon shares. Hey, that’s something that we didn’t know about baby Archie. “But,” he continues. “He also told me not to make too many plans.” Ban der Stroon explains: “and that there’s no way you can plan for when the baby arrives.” That is absolutely true. “I told Harry about my mother,” van der Stroon shares, noting that they could relate to each other. It has been more than 20 years since Princess Diana’s tragic death. “And,” he reveals. “We talked about our shared experience of missing a mum.” That is heartbreaking for both of them. “He said missing a mother is like missing some kind of security,” van der Stroon expresses. Van der Stroon says that Harry spoke of “how you need that [security] as a son and it falls away when you lose your mother.” He and his brother were then under a spotlight as never before while they mourned, which only compounded the trauma. “He said he meets a lot of people in his work who have lost a mother, father, sister, brother, or relatives,” van der Stroon shares. Prince Harry is known for his charity work, following in his late mother’s footsteps. “And when he hears their story, as he heard my story,” van der Stroon concludes. “He said he doesn’t feel so alone.” Harry and Meghan shared their happy news earlier this week. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor,” they shared on Instagram. “This afternoon,” the statement read. “Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle.” “The Duke of Edinburgh and the duchess’ mother were also present for this special occasion,” the post added. As Harry told van der Stroon, the birth of baby Archie has brought joy to a lot of people who feel invested in Harry and Meghan.

Samantha Markle Responds to Royal Baby… By Saying More Mean Things

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

So much for a baby bringing people together. Even a very famous baby with a very cute name and a couple of loving parents. Just a few days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced the birth of their first child, the latter’s cruel half-sister has broken her silence about the blessed development. And if you think Samantha Markle used the occasion to say kind words about Meghan and/or to mend the rift that Samantha is entirely responsible for, well… … you must also think Prince William has remained loyal to Kate Middleton throughout their marriage. “I love it,” Samantha told DailyMailTV late Wednesday when asked about Meghan having a son, adding: “Family is family. What I think is incredible is that it’s a great moment historically and although the adults have a lot of water under the bridge, I would really like to see everyone reach out. “We’ve extended the olive branch and now it is Meghan’s turn.” Yup, there it is again. There is Samantha once more placing blame for her failed relationship with Meghan directly on the lovely shoulders of the Duchess. For those unaware, Samantha and Meghan share the same father — and almost literally nothing else. Samantha is 17 years old than Meghan and the two did NOT grow up in the same household. They’ve scarcely been in touch over the years, yet Samantha has taken every opportunity possible ever since Meghan started dating Harry to trash the former actress, claiming she’s phony and fake and unappreciative of her family. Meghan has somehow managed to take the high ground and never respond in public. “We’re all welcoming the baby – Markles, Raglands, Sussexes, Windsors,” continued Samantha in this interview. “In terms of the gene pool, we’ve all made a contribution to this wonderful little boy who will probably grow up to be an exceptional man and we’d like to treat this as if we’re all a big family. “It would be nice not to react to what we’ve heard in the news but to personally meet him and let him judge us for himself.” Samantha is likely speaking here for her dad as well, who chose not to attend the Royal Wedding last May and who issued his own weird statement in light of the Royal Baby’s birth this week. Markle and Harry posed with their precious newborn yesterday, announcing his name a few hours later. It is  Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and we actually think it’s rather adorable. “It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing. I have the best two guys in the world, so I’m really happy,” Meghan told the media on Wednesday, saying of her little one: “He has the sweetest temperament. He’s really calm.” And Samantha did conclude her statement with a few nice words at least. While also claiming that she was speaking for an entire nation. “I want [Archie] to know he’s got a big family and he’s part of an amazing historical time and we’re excited for him,” she said. “We’re excited for Meg and Harry – I am really excited for her. I love her, she’s my baby sister and it doesn’t matter what we’ve all said back and forth but she’s got to do the right thing. “I just want to say Meg, you’ve got a world here and family here [in the U.S.] that’s excited for you.” In the end, however, the woman who is exploiting this entire situation to write a memoir and gain publicity simply could not help but continue to hammer Markle for allegedly turning her back on her loved ones. That’s just how Samantha Markle rolls. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: Royal Baby Photos are HERE! This was how she wrapped up the interview, referencing Thomas Markle and making a very selfish, narrow-minded and biased plea: “I want Meg to be part of his life, I want Meg to be able to share this beautiful time with him in whatever way she can. “I think it’s important for her too. I hope something sticks with her – that she decided to do the right thing for my dad. Life is short and we’re family. “I hope she decides to do the right thing this time.”

Justin Bieber: Ignoring Hailey Baldwin to Chat With Selena Gomez?

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Unfortunately, vicious trolls seem to enjoy taunting Hailey Baldwin about Selena Gomez’s storied history with Justin Bieber. Hailey and the Biebs are married, but this week, they went out in public and did not look like a happy couple. A new report can explain the conflict and its all-too-familiar source. Is this the end of their nascent marriage? On Wednesday, May 8, Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Baldwin, were spotted walking out and about in New York. That’s no real shock. Justin has been in treatment for his mental health, and has reportedly been doing so in the Big Apple. What people found shocking was that something seemed to be majorly off between the married couple. In contrast to their PDA-filled walks around London, it looked like Justin was keeping his distance from his own wife. WTH?! RadarOnline reports that this can all be explained, because Justin is currently distracted by thoughts of another woman: Selena Gomez. “Justin and Selena are in contact from time to time,” an insider, who is allegedly close to Selena, reports. The source explains that this is “because they have both gone through really dark periods this past year.” Selena’s health battle has been ongoing and brutal, and Justin has been fighting for his own mental wellbeing. The insider adds that the two endured crises “at almost the same time.” According to the report, this alleged love triangle has spilled over into the public appearances that the stars choose to make. “Selena avoided the Met gala,” the source observes. Meanwhile, Hailey showed up without Bieber. The insider says that this is “because she thinks that Hailey is a phase that Justin is going through.” “And,” the source grimly notes. “Hailey knows this.” That’s a great reminder that, last year, Hailey attended with Shawn Mendes. This year, she attended as a married woman. Wild. It was only about a month and a half ago when Justin Bieber admitted that he’ll always love Selena . “Justin recently said that he still loved Selena,” the insider points out. Apparently, this did not go over well on the marital front. Hailey of course heard “and Hailey lost it,” the reports claims. It doesn’t help that many considered Justin going back to Hailey a rebound after his rekindled romance with Selena fizzled out. “Selena knows that Justin loves her,” the source affirms. Thankfully, there’s some good news. The insider continues: “but she has moved on with her life.” Those of us who didn’t love seeing one of the world’s most talented singers play babysitter to a talented by troubled young man can breathe a sigh of relief. “And,” the report notes, Selena “has started dating again.” RadarOnline also spoke to a “body language expert,” which is a great career to take up since phrenology fell out of style. The thing that makes body language experts so convincing is that they combine common sense with imagination to paint a compelling picture. Based upon all of the sightings of the Biebs and Hailey, he did seem like he was lost in his own little world. (We obviously don’t have an issue with experts, but there are very specific “fields” of expertice that are given more credence than they deserve) Now, we have to emphasize that nothing in this report — nothing about Justin’s issues being linked to Selena — are confirmed. If they are in touch, we’re sure that Selena has zero desire to harm that marriage or to start things up with the Biebs again.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Really Did Just Name Their Kid This

Posted on May 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

For once, the rumors about the Royal Baby have been proven true. No, not the one about Meghan Markle faking her pregnancy and using a surrogate. But the one about this Duchess and Prince Harry selecting an unusual, somewhat American name for their firstborn. Two days after giving birth to a precious son , Markle has joined with her famous husband in announcing the infant’s full name: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Yep, it’s a mouthful. And it certainly was not among the final list of strong Royal Baby Name contenders. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor,” the couple announced on Instagram on Wednesday, May 8. They shared this message along with the photo above, adding via caption: “This afternoon Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle. “The Duke of Edinburgh and the duchess’ mother were also present for this special occasion.” Prior to the baby name reveal and the picture featuring Her Highness, Markle and Harry posed just themselves with little Archie, whose name is causing most Americans to crack jokes about the comic book and/or CW show by this same name. “MY DUCHESS IS A RIVERDALE FAN!!!!!!!!! COME ON, ARCHIE!!!” one user Tweeted after learning of the news. A second person referenced the aforemented drama and wrote: “So the #RoyalBaby has been called Archie? How long until the south side serpents turn up? #Riverdale.” And even the official Archie Comics account got in on the hilarious action: These quips are all well and good and we encourage plenty more of them, but as for the actual basis behind Archie? The name has multiple meanings. In Scotland, it translates to “true and bold,” while in Germany, it means “truly brave.” The newborn’s middle name, Harrison, is of English descent and means “son of Harry.” Seems appropriate, right? The moniker is also a tribute to the prince’s late/beloved mother, Princess Diana, as one of her ancestors was Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll, from Scotland. Bet you didn’t know that! The stars had several monikers from which to choose after their first royal tour together, as the Duchess of Sussex revealed in October 2018. “We’ve been given a long list of names from everyone,” the former Suits actress said during an informal Q&A with a group of students in Melbourne, Australia, at the time. She added: “We’re going to sit down and have a look at them.” The brand new mother, meanwhile, also spoke out this morning for the first time since becoming a parent. “It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing. I have the best two guys in the world, so I’m really happy,” she told the gathered press. “He has the sweetest temperament. He’s really calm.” The excitement around Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor? That’s anything but calm. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: Royal Baby Photos are HERE!
